Richard, I did a live boot with Ubuntu 20.04, apt installed flatpak, added the runtime and installed your flatpak file. Success! I had Chirp running on Ubuntu 20.04 in under 10 minutes! And I was able to download and upload to several of the older Baofeng 888 radios and a Radioddity GA-2S (same driver in chirp).
Some notes on your current flatpak: - Chirp needs network access for the online repeater database and to check for updates - Chirp complains (when launched from the console) that 2 drivers need python-future package I did some more modifications to my flatpak file and here's what I found: - pygtk fails to compile with gnome Sdk version 3.36 but compiles on 3.26. gnome Sdk 3.30 is unsupported for some reason. - I'll look into how to get things working on a newer version - I have no idea where to find a "list" of available versions but did find the upstream repository on gitlab - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta - Removed all the pip related stuff - Added python-future - Nolan's repo has a lot of stuff mine is missing. - Like a desktop shortcut https://gist.github.com/goldstar611/cb0037ee29ae315bb2f0211e69d95799/revisions Tony On Fri, 2020-05-01 at 20:24 -0500, Richard Shaw wrote: > Well thanks to the help and pointers here I was able to navigate the truly > atrocious documentation for flatpaks and was able to create a bundle.
